Han counter current

There are constant wars in the Central Plains, and Chen Feng needs to find a way to hoard food.Now that his army is fighting on the grassland, they will definitely have to immigrate before the spring, which requires enough food and grass as a support.

Moreover, Chen Feng, who has been worrying about the population, really wants to annex the millions of Black Mountain troops entrenched in Montenegro. If he can subdue these people, Chen Feng is sure that he will not have to worry about the labor force.

But the premise is that he must have enough food to feed so many people, at least to help these people survive for half a year.

Otherwise, the one million Black Mountain Army would not bring any benefits to Chen Feng, on the contrary, it might become the vanguard to overthrow Youzhou.

Therefore, Chen Feng needs food, and in order to stockpile the food that is likely to arrive, he has ordered that various places in Youzhou begin to select sites for the construction of granaries.

It's not that the granaries in Youzhou are unusable, but the quantity and quality of these granaries can't meet Chen Feng's requirements.

On the sea, fleets of merchant ships sailed at full speed. From Liaodong to the sea near the Xuzhou coastline, these busy fleets could be seen, and occasionally escorting warships could be seen patrolling.

Such a scene is unprecedented. In such a cold winter, it is estimated that only Youzhou can do business like this.

Jiangdong Qiantang, the merchants and common people here go to the market to have a look when they have nothing to do. Compared with the cold in the north, the temperature here is not so low.

Although it snowed a little, it wasn't enough to cover the ground, let alone cause disasters, so this couldn't stop the people from going out for activities.

Merchant ships from the north often stopped at Qiantang to replenish food and fresh water before continuing their voyage. Under normal circumstances, those merchant ships from the north would also conduct short-term trade in Qiantang.

Invisibly, these merchant ships from the north stimulated the development of Qiantang. Many local families and merchants in Qiantang tried their best to hoard goods and expand their business.

In this world, no one knows whether a war will happen around them. Finally, there is an opportunity to do business like this. No one wants to miss it. Business opportunities are hard to find.

"Qiantang, huh, it really is quite prosperous. In recent years, Jiangdong is considered a place that has suffered less wars, but in the past few years, it has never seen this place become prosperous.

He was so embarrassed when he left, and now he can't use his real name when he comes back. All of this is because of that blue eye. "

On the huge merchant ship, a young man dressed as a literati sighed as he watched the busy crowd on the pier.

Not long after, the fleet of the literati set sail and left the dock, and then continued to move forward. It seems that the destination of this fleet is further away.

A day later, the literati and his fleet arrived at Zhuya.

Zhuya, which was previously occupied by pirates, has now become an important resting place for merchant ships, especially those barbarian merchant ships, who like to stay at Zhuya the most.

"Under Shen Xuan, I met General Gao."

The young literati is Shen Xuan. Originally, he was supposed to serve Chen Feng in Youzhou, but a month ago, after receiving Chen Feng's order, he put down everything he was doing and rushed to Zhuya with the fleet.

The task of hoarding food is not that simple. Manuel, a barbarian, will definitely not be able to complete it, even with the support of Gao Zhong.

Chen Feng needs someone who is familiar with the situation in Jiangdong, Zhuya, Funan and other places to preside over the overall situation here, and Shen Xuan is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Originally, Lu Xun and the others could also undertake this task, but now they all have important responsibilities.

There are still too few talents, otherwise, it would not be possible for Shen Xuan to come here to preside over the overall situation, but this Chen Feng is really daring to employ people.

"Mr. Shen has worked hard. I have read the letter from my adoptive father. This time I have to rely on my husband to advise me, so that I can complete the important task assigned by my adoptive father."

For the young literati in front of him, Gao Zhong gave enough respect.He knew in his heart that his adoptive father was very shrewd and would never send an incompetent person here.

"General, you are welcome. With the general here, everything can be solved. I am here to better solve business matters. General, I wonder if Namanuer has ever gone to Funan?"

"Come with me, this is not the place to talk."

Gao Zhong beckoned Shen Xuan to get off the boat, and then led the way ahead.

"Manuel sent a small fleet to Funan to investigate the situation. He himself is in Zhuya now. There are constant wars in Funan, and it is easy for our fleet to go there.

Manuel has repeatedly emphasized to me that our five consecutive fleets have brought too many commodities this time. If all of them are shipped to Funan, it may arouse the jealousy of the small local kingdoms. It is very clear what will happen in the end. up. "

"Then what does the general mean?"

Shen Xuan knew that this was the truth, everyone was innocent, but pregnant was guilty, plus Funan was a place of alienation, and the people in many places were quite barbaric.

"I want to infiltrate our power into Funan. It is best to grab a large piece of land in Funan. If we want to do business, we must first show them my fist."

Gao Zhong said coldly: "Furthermore, I have subdued too many pirates during this time.

If you don't give them something to do, these people will definitely not be able to stay idle. If something goes wrong, I'm worried that it will affect the mission of the foster father. "

"I don't know where the general wants to start?"

"This requires you to give pointers."

Gao Zhong suddenly smiled.

"I'm not very familiar with this place, and I'm even less familiar with Funan, so I said that I need my husband to advise me."

Gao Zhong does not reject war at all. He is now a qualified and excellent general and a smart commander.

After occupying Fuya, he began to understand the painstaking efforts of his adoptive father.

Therefore, what he wants to do now is to grab a piece of land in Funan as soon as possible, so as to ensure that his fleet can do business with peace of mind.

However, grabbing land is not that simple. After all, Funan is not an unoccupied land, and there are many small kingdoms there.

What Gao Zhong has to do now is to assemble troops, train soldiers, and then wait for Shen Xuan to point him in the direction.

Chapter 253 Extended Target 1

Since Gao Zhong occupied Zhuya, he ordered people to build houses here and reclaim the land. At the same time, he recruited refugees and beggars who lost their land from all over Jiangdong to reclaim wasteland here.

All the common people who are willing to live in Zhuya can be comforted to the greatest extent, and each person can be allocated a hundred acres of land. This is definitely a huge temptation.

The allure of the land has brought many people, and it has also made this barren land gradually prosperous in a short period of time. The most direct benefits have enabled those people to overcome other difficulties.

In addition, Gao Zhong was able to use sea ships to transport some supplies from Youzhou, so the people of Zhuya are now living a very nourishing life.

With such a beginning, Zhu Ya is now developing towards Huawai Kingdom, and everyone feels that this place is full of hope.

Cement-built houses and warehouses abound, the newly reclaimed fields are full of farmers, and busy farmers look at their fields with smiles.

The sailors and workers working by the sea are also sweating and working hard. All this is the current scene of Zhuya, which is thriving and full of vitality.

"It's really not easy for General Gao to build Zhuya like this in such a short period of time. Unexpectedly, in addition to marching and fighting, General Gao also has such a skill in logistics. If so, I understand why the lord sent you here."

Shen Xuan has a certain understanding of Zhu Ya, and also knows that it is really not easy for Zhu Ya to become what he is now.

"Zhu Ya is fine, at least I have a certain foundation, I just need to find a way to recruit refugees and people to cultivate, and then provide them with farm tools and cattle.

In addition, all merchant ships coming and going need to settle here, so this place has become a transfer station for merchant ships, and it is difficult to think about prosperity.

He is a normal person, with so much assistance, he can manage Zhu Ya well.Hehe, I didn't pay anything.

It's just that the task given to me by my foster father is not only to occupy Zhuya, but also several other places, and I have already inquired about the specific locations.
